Chapter 1255: Chapter 1255: Let Her Stay With You (Part 4)
She nodded and said softly, “Then I’ll take a short nap. Brother Xi, please wake me up when the teacher arrives.”
Xiu Xi nodded and held her small hand from the middle of the seat.
Ruan Jiaojiao, who was already struggling to stay awake, fell asleep immediately after closing her eyes with a relaxed mind.
However, the same nightmare struck her once again.
Almost from the first moment she saw those dark eyes in her dream, Ruan Jiaojiao frowned in reality. Xiu Xi, who had been watching her, noticed immediately and pulled at their clasped hands, attempting to wake her up.
“Ah…”
But before he could make a sound, accompanied by a scream, Ruan Jiaojiao suddenly opened her eyes.
In just a few minutes, her forehead was covered with a fine sweat, her pupils contracted intensely, and her face was deathly pale without a trace of color.
Her voice was so loud that it even drowned out the reading sounds in the class.
Many students turned to look, with Yang Xiaona behind them looking at her anxiously.
“What happened?” Lu Zishu stood up from the back and leaned over to look from the middle. Seeing Ruan Jiaojiao drenched in sweat and her pupils shrinking wildly, he thought she was hot and fanned her with a book, saying, “You’re even more afraid of the heat than I am.”
It’s already September, and the weather is still very hot, but it was still morning, supposedly the coolest time of the day. Ruan Jiaojiao sweating so profusely was really abnormal.
Lu Zishu found this very strange, especially since Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t look well, so he said, “Are you sick? Do you need to take leave and see a doctor?”
After saying that, he turned to Xiu Xi and said, “Brother Xi, you take Jiaojiao to see a doctor. I’ll get a leave for you from the homeroom teacher.”
Xiu Xi actually wanted to take her back, as she really wasn’t in a good shape, but before he could speak, Xu Jie, on Ruan Jiaojiao’s other side, shouted: “Sleeping during morning reading class, and now making such a fuss, aren’t you going too far, Ruan Jiaojiao? If you don’t want to study, we still do!”
“Xu Jie, are you blind or are your eyes just decorative? Can’t you see her looking so unwell? Are you some kind of Changchong, cold-blooded! It’s such bad luck to be classmates with someone like you, really bad luck!” As soon as Xu Jie’s voice fell, Lu Zishu immediately shot back.
Ruan Jiaojiao was now sweating profusely, her face pale, and her eyes unfocused, clearly not in a good state.
Being in the same class, if you couldn’t even have a little empathy, then that truly is cold-blooded.
Seeing this, several students around them started speaking up, some comforting Ruan Jiaojiao.
“Yeah, Student Jiaojiao, you really don’t look well. Why not take some leave and go home to rest?”
“Yes, class president, you take Student Jiaojiao out first. She looks so pale, maybe she’s got a fever or a cold?”
“Exactly, missing half a day of classes is fine, you can catch up later.”
Some were also criticizing Xu Jie: “Xu Jie, you’re exaggerating. Anyone can see that Ruan Jiaojiao is unwell. Why are you so serious?”
“Exactly, I didn’t feel disturbed by her at all, you’re just being pretentious.”
“…”
Everyone chimed in, making Xu Jie extremely annoyed.
